Asphalt is used for constructing roads, playgrounds, parking lots and many more such things. It might suffer from damages due to different reasons, and can be repaired easily with the help of Polyurethane products in a quick and simple manner. The Polyurethane pavement repair products seal the asphalt not only against water, but also against oils, gasoline and hydraulic/brake fluids.
The word asphalt comes from the Greek "asphaltos" meaning "secure". Although asphalt is solid and durable, it must be maintained. Asphalt is everywhere - roads, playgrounds, parking lots, runways and it must be maintained properly for it to last. Today, 96% of all paved roads and streets in the U.S. - almost two million miles - are surfaced with asphalt. Polyurethane products are the simplest and fastest products available to repair asphalt. With these easy instructions your asphalt repair will be stronger and last longer than with traditional repair methods. Many polyurethane asphalt repair products come in a complete package ready to fix asphalt. There are even polyurethane products to fix cracks so they don't grow into more extensive damage.

Catching Cracks Early
Most damage starts with cracks and if those are repaired quickly and simply with polyurethane crack filler products, the damage can be halted and the repaired area is stronger and lasts longer than the original material. Using polyurethane crack fillers provides a quick-setting solution in less than 10 minutes with minimal preparation. Polyurethane pavement repair products provide sealers that seal not only against water, but also oils, gasoline, hydraulic/brake fluids and more. Polyurethane asphalt repair products are safer because repairs are quicker, reducing exposure to traffic, and they are odorless and vaporless.

Polyurethane Products Make It Easy
With a few simple hand tools, repairs are simple. There is almost no preparation of cracked or damaged asphalt. Simply sweep or blow out the damaged area, mix your materials or squeeze a cartridge and apply to repair cracked asphalt pavement. Sprinkle with topping sand and the job is done. Polyurethane repairs can be done in most any weather. Provided the pavement can be dried before you begin, there is no need to worry about temperatures. One polyurethane asphalt repair material, FloMix, can be ordered with a catalyst for use in cold weather. Using this asphalt repair product, your asphalt repair will set up in under an hour regardless of humidity or cold.

Shorter Downtime
Because polyurethane repair products set up quickly and do not require large equipment to dig up damaged asphalt your asphalt is barely out of commission. With a short closure your asphalt can be used immediately after repair. Workers are not exposed to traffic for long periods of time and labor costs are reduced.

Added Benefits
Asphalt repaired with polyurethane products are waterproof as well as being protected against oils, gasoline, hydraulic and brake fluid. Roklin's polyurethane repair products are odorless and vaporless, further protecting employees handling the repair.

Longer lasting
Because polyurethane repairs are stronger but maintain some flexibility they last longer than traditional repairs. The new polyurethane repair will not cause breakdown in surrounding asphalt.
